Welcome to WavePulse Shop’s Privacy Policy! Just like we protect your surf gear, we’re serious about protecting your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you ride the digital waves with us at wavepulseshop.com.

1. The Data We Catch (Collection)

When you paddle into our shop, we may collect:

  • Personal Info: Your name, email, shipping address, and payment details when you make a purchase (like choosing the right fin setup, we need the essentials to get you riding)
  • Order Details: What gear you’re buying (backpacks, boogie boards, surfboard accessories, etc.)
  • Device Info: IP address, browser type, and operating system (like checking swell conditions before you surf)
  • Usage Data: How you navigate our site (which waves you’re catching on our digital break)

2. How We Ride the Data Wave (Usage)

We use your info to:

  • Process orders and get your gear to you faster than a shorebreak
  • Improve our shop’s performance (always chasing that perfect setup)
  • Send order updates (like surf reports for your purchase)
  • Prevent fraud (our digital lifeguards are always on duty)
  • Respond to your questions (we live to help fellow surfers)

3. Sharing the Swell (Data Disclosure)

We only share your data with trusted partners who help us operate:

  • Payment Processors: Visa, MasterCard, JCB, PayPal (to securely handle transactions)
  • Shipping Carriers: To deliver your gear worldwide (except those few remote breaks we can’t reach yet)
  • Legal Requirements: Only when required by law (like following surf zone rules)

We never sell your data to third-party advertisers.

4. Securing Your Data Like Premium Gear

We protect your info with:

  • Industry-standard encryption (like a premium board bag for your data)
  • Secure servers guarded better than a secret surf spot
  • Regular security checks (always scanning for digital sharks)

We only store payment info long enough to process your transaction – then it rides out with the tide.

5. Your Rights (The Surfer’s Choice)

You can:

  • Access or update your personal info (like adjusting your fin setup)
  • Request deletion of your data (wipe out your digital tracks)
  • Opt-out of marketing emails (no spam in your lineup)
  • File complaints with data protection authorities

To exercise these rights, email our crew at [email protected].

6. Cookies & Tracking (Our Digital Tide Chart)

We use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences (like your favorite break)
  • Analyze site traffic (watching how surfers ride our digital waves)
  • Improve your shopping experience (always chasing that perfect ride)

You can manage cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work as smoothly.

7. International Data (Global Swell)

While we ship worldwide (with a few exceptions), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our headquarters at 349 Riverside Drive, Toccoa, US 30577 serves as our home break.

8. Policy Updates (Checking the Swell)

We may update this policy as needed. Significant changes will be announced like a big swell coming in – we’ll post notices on our site and update the “Last updated” date.
